Thats great and all, but whats the point of having those beautiful cars and not driving them? I know, I know.... You wanna collect them all! But really, If you want a good return for your money, buy some percious metals. IE GOLD!!

The SLP MAF happened....mixed with what I think was bad gas on a road trip.

Got to sea level with it, starting knocking (not just a little bit, TERRIBLE). Thought it was a goner, so I ordered the shortblock.
Got it home, took out the motor, it was good, just had some slight detonation damage to the #7 piston. Nothing serious. Sold it to a guy in New York.

Sea level is a long ways from Colorado. That had to scare the crap out you being that far from home with a knocking motor.
